Company Overview:

Relativity is the first and only company to automate aerospace manufacturing by integrating intelligent robotics, software, and proprietary metal 3D printing technology. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. Our long-term goal is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.   

Team:

Supply Chain at Relativity Space is responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing the end-to-end (internal and external) supply chain networks required to manufacture and deliver entirely 3D-printed launch vehicles. As a Global Supply Manager, Stage Systems, you’ll work closely with stakeholders across Vehicle Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain Planning, and more to design and scale both existing and novel supply chains in the design and development of complex mechanisms that create a competitive advantage for the enterprise.

What you’ll do:

• Own the development and implementation of our Terran-R mechanisms (E.g., actuation systems, separation systems, etc.) supply chain strategy
• Conduct comprehensive assessment on existing subcomponent supply chains and refine end-to-end operating model to ensure near-term material demand is fulfilled
• Create and maintain robust forecasting tools that model part demand across near-, medium-, and long-term planning horizons based on upcoming new product introduction campaign requirements
• Leverage forecasts to develop commodity strategies and drive sourcing activities through contract implementation
• Operationalize ERP for digital management of end-to-end component lifecycle
• Build strategic, long-term relationships with supply partners to always maximize value for both parties
• Develop relationships with internal stakeholders to anticipate requirements and implement procurement strategies aligned to business requirements

What you need to know:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain/Operations Management, Economics/Finance, or similar
• 5+ years of demonstrated success in a strategic sourcing, manufacturing or engineering role. Experience with aerospace development programs preferred, but not required
• Strong knowledge of enterprise applications (i.e., PLM, ERP, MES) and expert in sophisticated data modeling techniques
• Strong knowledge of contract structures, contract negotiations, contract implementation, and vendor management
• Excellent negotiation skills

Nice to haves but not required:

• Master’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Supply Chain/Operations Management, or similar
• New Product Introduction (NPI) supply chain experience, preferably within aerospace or frontier technology industries
